transient model
[træn'ʃənt 'mɑdəl]
nounpl: transient models
modelo transitório
1. A mathematical or computational representation of a system's behavior during temporary or non-steady-state conditions, typically used in engineering and physics to analyze how variables change over time until reaching equilibrium
The engineer used a transient model to simulate how temperature fluctuations would affect the pipeline during startup procedures.
O engenheiro utilizou um modelo transitório para simular como as flutuações de temperatura afetariam o oleoduto durante os procedimentos de inicialização.
2. In finite element analysis and numerical simulation, a computational approach that captures dynamic responses and time-dependent phenomena before the system reaches steady state
The transient model revealed critical stress points that only appear during the acceleration phase of the motor.
O modelo transitório revelou pontos críticos de tensão que aparecem apenas durante a fase de aceleração do motor.
This is specialized technical terminology predominantly used in engineering, physics, and computational science fields. In Brazil, it is commonly employed in university research, industrial applications, and technical documentation. The term reflects the internationalization of scientific language, where Portuguese translations maintain close fidelity to English originals to preserve technical precision across multilingual engineering teams and academic collaborations.
